Summary
Maryland Medical Assistance Program updated their approved list of disposable medical supplies and durable medical equipment, removing unused procedure codes as part of HIPAA conversion preparation. The policy includes specific preauthorization requirements and maximum allowable prices for covered items.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must update system to reflect only approved procedure codes from the updated list. Remove any deleted unused procedure codes from billing software and encounter forms. Ensure diabetic monitoring supplies are billed on HCFA 1500 forms using DMS/DME provider number, not as point-of-sale pharmacy items. Verify preauthorization requirements for items exceeding $300, incontinency pants, disposable underpads, and DME rentals after 3 months. Claims using deleted codes will be denied.
